Generation IV Remake Speculation

[Poke Dragon]

I don't even think it will be a Let's Go remake. So the odds of a GO Park appearing in Sinnoh at this time is very unlikely anyways.

 

[Esserise]

I doubt either will be converted into GO Park. If anything, I think it will replace Pal Park since Pokemon Bank is a thing.

I’ve got plenty more cynicism where that came from:

Game Freak: “So, people don’t want Let’s Go remakes of Sinnoh? Alrighty, then let’s just take away the Walking Pokémon feature once again so that we can restrict it to Amity Square... Gotta ‘stay true to the originals...’”

Is it bad that I'm prepared to make the sacrifice if it’s the only way to get a Non-Let's Go Sinnoh remake?

 

[Poke Dragon]

Meh, I don't really care if they limit following Pokemon to Amity Square so a Sinnoh remake will be a traditional one.

Walking Pokémon is a great feature, but I do find that it is easy to go without - which makes sense, considering that it’s been unavailable for 98% of the games’ existence.

Nah. As cool as the feature is, I think everyone would survive for us to have a proper remake. Now if they made everyone but us walking with Pokémon, then that would be an issue.

Then you will get a Let's Go remake without following Pokemon, except for the new starters. HMs will make their glorious return due to the lack of riding.

After going through Platinum's main story, short of putting a sign post at every end of a road, or having a literal traveling companion in vein of anime!Brock/Misty who drags you around, Sinnoh is not the optimal region for a Let's Go remake without completely butchering the region.

 

[Silktree]

The Rotom Pokedex is already a thing. And they're going to "butcher" the region for kids no matter what.

Based on SM, I don’t think this is necessarily the case. You can leave out both following Pokémon and HMs without a problem

I don't really think that RotomDex is ever coming back.

It might. Rotom Dex might be even more common in Sinnoh than Alola since Rotom is native there.

I was being pessimistic. But I'd it find it sad if they regressed from following Pokemon to the forced feature that was PokeRide.

According to the games, the RotomDex is from Kalos.

And who says the idea cannot migrate to other regions?
Rotom Dex requires a Rotom to function. And which region are Rotom native to?

There's only one Rotom in all of Sinnoh.

Decided to do some digging on Rotom's locations.
Actually it’s in game trade exclusive/island scan exclusive in all regions except Kalos which has one in trash cans.
I was mistaken on Rotom's native status and I apologise for the mistake.

Doesn’t change the fact that if Rotom can be brought over to Alola, it can be brought over to Kalos.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

While I agree that Diamond and Pearl are badly-structured, I feel nostalgic for aimlessly wandering around in Diamond until I figured out where I was supposed to go. It made finishing the game feel like more of an accomplishment. I don't get that feeling from games any more, and I think it's because I'm good at video games now.

 

[Silktree]

That's irrelevant, and considering there are now wild Eevee in Kanto and maybe even starters...

 

[Poke Dragon]

Here's some thought, are they going to lock wild Pokemon from Gen 5 onwards until the postgame like they did with ORAS? There are some obvious places to have them appear like Tympole appearing in the Great Marsh.
